[{"text": "The cuisine of Monmouthshire is historically associated with Lady Augusta Hall, also known as Lady Llanover, who published one of the first Welsh cookery books, \"First Principles of Good Cookery\" (1867). The book uses a fictional Welsh hermit to give culinary advice to a visiting guest who is travelling though Wales. The book's historical significance was noted by Bobby Freeman who, in 1991, arranged for the book to be republished by the Brefi Press together with an introduction explaining its historical significance and the background of Lady Llanover's life. Lady Llanover championed Welsh cuisine in the kitchens of her home at Llanover House and during her lifetime was famous for her hospitality, where the following motto hung above the dining room: <poem> Da i bawb cynhildeb yw A thad i gyfoeth ydyw Thrift is beneficial to all And is the father of wealth </poem> Gilli Davies notes that although some of the recipes in \"First Principles of Good Cookery\" may have a Welsh origin, others originated from Lincolnshire where Lady Llanover was brought up. Monmouthshire has three main agricultural areas. The central and eastern part of the county is made up of the large valleys of the rivers Severn, Wye,"}, {"text": "and Usk and the land in this part of the county is fertile and of good quality with gently undulating land suitable for market gardens and vineyards. The southern part of the county is bounded by the Bristol Channel and includes areas of moorland and marsh, such as Wentlooge and Caldicot. This area was once owned by the monks of Goldcliff Priory who drained the land and built seawalls to prevent the sea flooding the land. The northern and western part of the county is made up of uplands with shallow soils of low nutrient value which are suitable for hill farming. This area includes the valleys of the rivers Ebbw and Sirhowy to the west and the Black Mountains to the north. According to Davies, Monmouthshire has been successful in expanding the breadth of its food production into areas such as viticulture, horticulture and organic farming. In addition, food marketing initiatives have been created for specialist producers which have thrived, according to Davies, due to good transport links and the close proximity of the county to the markets of England. This helps in food distribution and in the development of a high-quality restaurant trade, with the latter having developed"}, {"text": "due to the efforts of some key individuals. Davies comments that there is \"a rare and appealing quality to the food in Monmouthshire\". Meat. Lamb and mutton is a popular ingredient for stews, broths and casseroles and is produced by the hill farms in the north of Monmouthshire. It has been a popular dish in local hotels and inns since the start of tourism in the county. Wirt Sikes, an American journalist and writer known for his writings on Welsh folklore and customs, toured Wales in the 1880s and wrote a book of his travels called Rambles and Studies in Old South Wales. On his visit to Monmouthshire he commented on the quality of its lamb, noting that the chop of lamb served at the Old Croft Inn at Caerleon were \"done to a turn... with the true Welsh tenderness and juice...\" However, at The Beaufort Arms in Monmouth, Sikes commented on the ubiquity of this staple on the restaurant menu as follows: \"the resources of the inn, when tested to their utmost, will produce at the last, and inevitably, chops - neither more nor less. What can you give me inside half an hour?\" I ask. \"Anything you like,"}, {"text": "sir\" the woman answers with unblushing effrontery, and a respectful cordiality delightful to see in such a connexion, I am tempted to ask for buckwheat cakes, prairie chicken, roast saddlerocks, and watermelons, but compromise with \"How about a fowl?\" \"Fowl, sir? - take about an hour to cook a fowl, sir.\" But it is idle to defer the climax of this thrilling - or grilling - tale, I had chops for dinner.\" Taruschio comments that Welsh lamb has the potential to be a perennial feature on a restaurant menu because lowland lamb is available in early spring, upland lamb is available in summer and mountain lamb is available from late summer to late autumn. He notes that mountain lamb is born out of doors and feeds off grass and herbs. Up until the Victorian era, Welsh Mutton Hams were part of Welsh daily fare. Freeman mentions that the old mutton recipes from Wales \"make one's mouth water and one's spirits fray with frustration\" and suggests that some of the recipes may be worth adapting to Welsh lamb dishes. In Lady Llanover's book, an anonymous traveller dines with a hermit and comments on Welsh mutton as follows: \"Although real Welsh mutton"}, {"text": "was admitted by all epicures, and by medical men, to be the very finest for flavour, and the lightest of digestion of all the breeds of sheep known in Great Britain, very few prizes were ever given for the encouragement and preservation of so invaluable a breed of animals\" However, the Traveller, like Sikes, found that not every Victorian tourist inn produced a tasty chop: \"..even at Welsh inns, during his last absence, he had been sickened by large coarse mutton, though within a mile of mountains, where the best Welsh sheep were to be had, and could alone live and flourish. He added that, at private houses, the same complaint may often be made in Wales as well as in London, from whence the rich, nevertheless, send abroad for all sorts of foreign luxuries for their table, on which the best Welsh mutton is seldom ever found\" Llanover's book attempts to right this wrong with various recipes, including one for Boiled Shoulder of Mutton. This requires the mutton to be boiled for two and a half hours together with onions, celery, marjoram and a small sprig of thyme. There is also a recipe for Welsh Lamb Pie, where the"}, {"text": "bones from a neck of lamb are cooked together with vegetables and left overnight. Pastry for the pie is made the following day, the meat and vegetables are then added and, after the pie has been baked, the melted jelly from the meat is included. Annette Yates recommends a recipe for Welsh Mountain Lamb with Honey, Rosemary and Cider (Cig Oen gyda Mel, Rhosmari a Seidr), noting that lamb with honey and rosemary is a traditional combination to which cider can be added. The dish is cooked until the lamb is soft. Yates comments that the juice from the lamb is sweet and this becomes caramelized and golden, due to the honey. Yates notes that several cider producers are concentrated in this part of Wales. Monmouthshire Broth is a local recipe that includes neck of lamb. The neck is left simmering in a saucepan for two hours together with chopped onions and sliced carrots. Potatoes are added half an hour before serving and, when ready, chopped parsley is sprinkled on top as a garnish. Monmouth Stew (Stiw Mynwy) is a lamb stew which includes leeks and pearl barley. Parsley, thyme, and a bay leaf are added for seasoning. In her"}, {"text": "cookery book \"Welsh Country Puddings and Pies\", Freeman notes that Anne Hughes, who worked a successful farm on the Welsh Marches near Chepstow, would make a May Day Pie containing meat and fruit. Hughes made her May Day Pie for her farm workers and in order to be 'reddie for who shall cum amaying tomorrow, it being maye day'. May Day Pies were made like a Cornish pastie, with a mixture of cooked meat (probably mutton or lamb) finely chopped apples, pears, onions, lemon thyme, rosemary, pepper and salt. Anne Hughes kept a diary and, during the year 1796, she wrote an account of the daily life on the farm, including some of her favourite recipes. Cattle have been an important component of Welsh agriculture since Roman times. Welsh Black cattle is a traditional breed known for the flavour of its meat and the natural marbling of the flesh. Amanda Wragge includes this meat in her recipe for a Black Beef Burger which includes egg and breadcrumbs, with ginger and cumin added for piquancy. Although Welsh Black cattle is a popular breed in Wales it only represents about 2% of the country's beef output, with other breeds including Aberdeen Angus,"}, {"text": "Hereford, Holstein Friesian, Charolias, Red Poll, Jersey, Guernsey, and Limousin. Traditional butchers can be found in the county at Abergavenny, Raglan and Monmouth. Pork has been part of the diet in Wales since early times with the pig being mentioned in the Laws of Hywel Dda. Until recently, almost every family living in the countryside would keep a pig and they would often be left to feed on waste ground and in woodlands. In The First Principles of Good Cookery, Lady Llanover provides detailed instructions for curing ham. In \"Welsh Calendar Cookbook\", Davies refers to a recipe for Braised Monmouthshire Pork with Savoury Welsh Cakes, where the Welsh Cakes are used to garnish the pork. Goat meat remained popular in Wales long after it ceased to be eaten in England. Goat hams were called 'hung venison' and in early medieval times they were eaten in place of bacon. Thomas Pennant noted that young goats, known as kids, were \"a cheap and plentiful provision in the winter months\" in Wales. In the past, goat meat was considered inferior to venison and was known as 'hung venison' or 'rock venison'. However, Freeman notes that the best goat is sweet and fat and"}, {"text": "makes an excellent pasty. Taruschio writes of a recipe for Kid with Orange, Marsala and Coriander, he comments: \"We always have kid on the menu in the spring. So many people nearby have goats either for their milk or for their wool. If they have too many billies we have them\u2026.Kid meat is a sweet tender meat with hardly any fat.\" Poultry and game. Poultry remains an important part of Monmouthshire food production with turkey, chicken and duck being bred organically on some farms Llanover's book contains a recipe for Welsh Salt Duck which is considered by Freeman to be \"a most successful and unusual dish\", while Yates comments that this recipe is probably the most celebrated duck dish in Wales. The recipe involves salting a whole duck for three days before cooking it. Freeman notes that Welsh Salt Duck is a dish exclusive to Wales but mentions that it is not known if the duck was salted in order to tenderize an older bird, or in order to make it keep for longer.\" Freeman notes that Welsh Salt Duck appears to have been confined to the Welsh Marches and comments that it is a delicious dish which is very"}, {"text": "little understood. She writes that the duck meat is tender and delicately salted but remains low in fat because the fat is removed when the water is drained from the pan. Freeman suggests that this water, which forms a stock, can be saved and used as a base for a lentil soup, while the duck is eaten either with a Laverbread Sauce or cold with a salad, either a Green Salad or an Orange and Watercress Salad. Yates comments that slices of cold Welsh Salt Duck were often served with a sharp-tasting fruit sauce made from damson, plum or bilberry. When Freeman arranged for the re-publication of Llanover's book, in 1991, she asked Taruschio if he could base a restaurant menu around the recipes in the book. With the help of Elizabeth David, Taruschio created a menu based on a main course of Welsh Salt Duck. Llanover's book also has a recipe for The Hermit's Chicken and Leek Pie. However, Freeman believes this recipe does not originate from the ancient tradition of Welsh cookery but was probably from a later tradition, probably being a dish made by the wives of well-to-do yeomen. Maesmawr Farm, which specialises in poultry farming and"}, {"text": "which is located at Glascoed, has its own recipe for Turkey and Leek Pie. Davies includes the recipe in her book and mentions that it includes chopped turkey, ham, leeks and watercress. The leeks are sliced and cooked with butter until soft and a stock of flour, cream and wine is added. After simmering the mix is then poured into a pie dish together with mustard, grated lemon peel, grated cheese and lemon juice, it is then covered with pastry and baked until golden brown. Game is also plentiful in Monmouthshire, and includes teal, woodcock, partridge, hare, rabbit and venison. Taruschio comments: \"When the game season starts with red grouse on 12 August, it always brings a sense of excitement. This must be because one never knows what is going to arrive from the shoots. Game is plentiful around here; \u2026.Pheasants are so abundant one can see them in almost every field.\" Taruschio has a recipe for Guineafowl Cooked in Clay. He mentions finding a seam of clay during the mid-1960s on a building site and using this to cook the fowl, explaining that it is a very old method of cooking. He emphasises that the thickness of the clay"}, {"text": "needs to be the same all around the fowl, with no holes or weak spots, in order for the fowl to cook evenly. Fish. Monmouthshire once had important Roman settlements (see: Wales in the Roman era). cockle and oyster, were popular shellfish eaten during this period, with some excavated Roman sites having revealed vast quantities of shells. However, once the Romans retreated from Wales fish was less popular because, according to Freeman, Celtic Christianity associated fish with paganism and the goddess Venus. The rivers Severn, Wye and Usk are well known for their salmon and trout. Davies nuotes that the Wye is considered to be the most important river for salmon in England and Wales and is one of the most productive stretches of river in Britain. During the 1980s the catch by fishing rod on the Wye was approximately 8,000 fish per season, excluding commercial fishing in the estuary. However, since then the rod catch has declined to about a quarter of that level. Tourism from fishing contributes considerably to the local economy with hotels and restaurants catering for recreational fishing throughout the season. On the Severn, records indicate that large quantities of salmon were traditionally caught by net"}, {"text": "and by fish trap during the nineteenth century, with 22,500 fish caught in 1870, 30,000 in 1883 and 20,950 in 1902. However, by the twentieth century the numbers recorded had reduced to 15,500 in 1919 and had further reduced to 5,127 in 1959. On the Severn putcher fishing, using removable basket traps, was once widely used along the Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire banks of the Severn. They were still used at Lower Porton and Goldcliff well into the 20th century, but the fishery at Goldcliff was one of the last to cease operation in 1995. At Goldcliff the fish were collected and placed in a tight-lidded, lead-lined wooden chest filled with broken ice and the chests were then sent by rail to Billingsgate. The form of basket known as a putt was less commonly used, with the last putt weirs at Goldcliff being abandoned in the 1920s because they required much greater skill in basket weaving due to their larger size. Putts were only used on the Severn estuary and were made up of three sections, known as the kipe, butt and fore wheel. The baskets were made at Redwick and were designed to catch all kinds of fish from salmon"}, {"text": "to shrimps The Severn Estuary and the estuaries of the Usk and Wye were also fished using lave nets. These are Y-shaped nets consisting of a handle and two arms from which the net is hung. Clenching nets are another type of net used on the Wye, these resemble a hand net which is hung at the end of a long pole. Stop-nets are another type of net which are used along the Severn and Wye from boats which are anchored to withstand the force of the tide. Coracle fishing also took place on the Severn, Usk and Wye but ended in the 1930s The coracle used on the Usk and Wye was known as the Monmouthshire truckle and was similar in design to the Tywi coracle. On the Severn, three types of coracle were used: the Ironbridge coracle, the Shrewsbury coracle and the Welshpool coracle. Drift netting and seine fishing also took place on the lower, wider stretches of these three rivers, where the current is stronger. In Wales, poaching was the usual way to cook salmon, using milk to which a bay leaf was added. The salmon would then be served hot with parsley sauce, or left to"}, {"text": "cool and be eaten with bread and butter. Freeman comments that salmon poached in milk and eaten cold with cream can be considered as \"an idea borrowed from the kitchens of Heaven!\" Llanover explains, in her book on cookery, how to crimp salmon. This was a common practice in Victorian times in order to 'set' the flesh before the curd. The curd is the white substance which lies between the flakes of flesh and if it melts it can make the fish oily. Once crimped the salmon would be served with a strong sauce. Llanover recommended a Granville sauce, which Freeman considers to be an unusual type of sauce. The sauce is said to be named after Sir Richard Granville, an ancestor of Lady Llanover. Sea trout (known as Sewin in Wales), trout and grayling are also caught in the rivers of Monmouthshire. Grayling is similar to trout with an excellent flavour but does not keep as well after it has been caught, so should be eaten as soon as possible. Grilled Grayling is one simple method of cooking this fish to which herbs can be added, such as chervil, chives, tarragon or parsley, along with butter, salt and pepper."}, {"text": "Trout farms can be found in the county where farmed trout is sold, for example, at Crucorney Trout Farm. Another important freshwater fish from Monmouthshire is the eel. Davies notes that fishing for young eels, known as elvers, along the Wye is an ancient tradition. The elvers are caught in special nets which are set in rows. Davies mentions that the nets are shaped like outsize lacrosse sticks. Fishing for elvers is a seasonal activity and depends on the phase of the moon. The eels breed in the Sargasso Sea and the elvers travel across the Atlantic Ocean to swim up Monmouthshire's rivers where they remain for most of their lives, returning to the Sargasso Sea to breed again when fully grown. The Wye is favoured by eels probably due to its tidal nature. As the eels swim alongside the river banks, on their journey inland, local fishermen scoop them out of the water with ancient-looking nets. Davies comments that the fishermen return each year to the same locations in order to scoop up the tiny eels as they move up the Wye. Elvers are considered a delicacy and were caught in vast quantities every year in the lower Severn"}, {"text": "Valley as they entered the river with the Severn bore. According to Taylor, the coastline of the Bristol Channel forms a vast funnel meaning that far greater numbers of elvers enter the Severn than any other river in Britain and, as a result, elvers have been eaten as a delicacy in the districts bordering the tidal reaches of the lower Severn for many centuries. The traditional way of eating elvers in Wales is to cook or fry them in bacon fat for breakfast. Fresh fish can be found on the menu of Monmouthshire restaurants, such as Smoked Sewin and Salmon terrine from The Crown at Whitebrook. In this dish thinly sliced layers of smoked Sewin are laid across the base and sides of a terrine, the salmon is poached in an onion and wine stock and is flaked and tossed with cucumber, carrot, lemon zest, herbs and the remaining sewin. This is used to fill the terrine and is then topped with a layer of quail eggs. The terrine is left to set in the fridge for 12 hours and is then served with dressed salad leaves and toast from whole wheat bread. Vegetables. Monmouthshire grows a wide range of"}, {"text": "fruit and vegetables, including mushrooms, tomatoes, leaf vegetables and winter root vegetables. The more sheltered valleys of the Usk and Wye have traditionally been used for growing wheat, potatoes, peas, beans and turnips while the east of the county has most of the arable land. To the north and north-west of the county, barley and oats form the principal crops. [The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland, 1868] Monmouthshire is also a significant producer of potatoes Market gardening is also an important aspect of Monmouthshire food production, particularly along the Wye valley and around Newport where fruit farms allow pick-your-own facilities for customers. Taruschio mentions that his practice as a restaurateur was to use only local seasonal vegetables. With this policy, he found that each season would lead to different types of vegetables being incorporated into his menu. Purple broccoli and broad beans would be used in spring, zucchini (courgettes) in the summer, and pumpkins in the autumn. In winter parsnips would be chipped and after blanching and deep frying would be sprinkled with salt. The restaurant would obtain supplies from local producers who would personally deliver their vegetables to the restaurant. Foraging would also provide Taruschio with local"}, {"text": "wild mushrooms: \"We have three spots which have become firm favourites for our mushroom gathering forays, and each spot has a breath taking beauty. Our most prolific area is a wood in the Black Mountains. The terrain is difficult but the beauty of that wood and the baskets of porcini, chanterelles, pied-de-mouton and trompette de la mort more than compensate for the aching limbs and sore back. The smell of the birch trees, the vast variety of mosses, the sun slanting through the branches in little patches, the sound of the waterfalls gushing down to the brook below and the smell of the mushrooms transport one away.\" The symbol of Wales is the leek, which is associated with Saint David's Day and this is referred to in Shakespeare's history play Henry V, Act V scene 1, where reference is made to Welsh soldiers wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps: Fluellen: \"If your Majesty is remembered of it, the Welshmen did good service in a garden where leeks did grow, wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps, which your Majesty knows, to this hour is an honourable badge of the service, and I do believe, your Majesty takes no scorn to wear"}, {"text": "the leek upon Saint Tavy's day\". King Henry: \"I wear it for a memorable honour; for I am Welsh, you know, good countryman\". Henry V was born in the tower above the gatehouse of Monmouth Castle, and for that reason was sometimes called Henry of Monmouth. Sauces and condiments. Freeman notes that Hot Sour Pickle Confection (Suryn Cyffaith Poeth) is an ancient Welsh sauce which has its roots in liquamen, one of the earliest condiments of the Romans and which was also called garum, in Greek. This sauce was made from the salted, putrified remains of fish and was used instead of salt by the Romans and Greeks. When the Romans left Wales, the sauce continued to be used. Freeman notes that one of the surviving recipes is remarkably like HP Sauce. The recipe is contained in the recipe book Croeso Cymreig and Freeman comments that it was probably preserved in a household cookery book from a plas, or Welsh country house. Rowan jelly is a traditional condiment for mutton and lamb. Freeman comments that it has a more subtle flavour than redcurrant sauce and that it has been served since the earliest times. Freeman comments that rowan berries, when"}, {"text": "ripe, \"hang like scarlet curtains along the deep, narrow lanes\" of Wales and commends them for making a \"lovely deep, scarlet red jelly\". Bread and cakes. Due to the large, fertile river valleys of the Wye and Severn and the county's relatively sheltered location Monmouthshire has the greatest acreage of land under wheat production in Wales. Generally, Wales is too wet and mountainous for large scale wheat production, but the geography of Monmouthshire provides the rich soil and dry, sunny weather that wheat needs during ripening and harvesting. However, the county's many gristmills have since disappeared. > Freeman notes that the old varieties of bread from Wales were mostly rough or coarse varieties that were made with flours from whole grain, barley meal, oatmeal or rye. Bread was usually baked in a wall-oven, which was specially heated for the day, or in a bread-oven housed in a separate small building of its own, near to the house. In areas where peat provided fuel a large cast-iron pot with a lid, similar to a Dutch oven and known as the ffwrn fach, would be used to bake bread. The ffwrn fach would hang on a tripod over a peat fire indoors."}, {"text": "The inside of the pot was greased and the dough placed inside. Peat coals were put on top of the lid. Llanover mentions using the fwrn ffach in many of the recipes contained in her cookery book. It was usually used to bake white bread, which was considered a great luxury until, during the twentieth century, commercial production made white bread more common. However, Freeman notes that the health benefits of whole grain bread have subsequently led to greater demand for this type of bread in Wales. White bread has a historical connection with the county. Henry Jones was the inventor of self raising flour, he was born in Monmouth and lived at Llanfihangel Rogiet. Jones was granted a patent for self raising flour in 1845 and was granted a Royal Warrant and appointed purveyor of patent flour and biscuits to Queen Victoria in 1846. His bakery was based at Broadmead in Bristol and his patent records are held at Bristol Archives (Bristol Archives online catalogue (Ref. 29932)) Jones worshipped at St Michael and All Angels Church, Llanfihangel Rogiet, which is now cared for by the Friends of Friendless Churches who have produced an online guide for visitors to the"}, {"text": "church. Bakestone Cakes (Teisennau Criwsion) are traditional Monmouthshire cakes which were originally cooked on a bakestone but are now usually cooked on a griddle or heavy bread pan. They are made from flour, salt, baking powder, butter and cream and resemble scones more than a cake. Other traditional breads include Barley bread (Bara barlys), which was traditionally eaten with most meals. Rye bread (Bara rhyg) is a less popular bread and was usually only eaten for medicinal reasons due to the unusual taste and black colour of the flour. Oatcakes (Bara ceirch) were considered to have bodybuilding properties and were a respected addition to the daily diet. Llanover makes the following observation regarding oatmeal: \"The preparation of oatmeal is particularly well understood in Wales, as well as in Scotland; but, by an extraordinary perversity, the kilns necessary for its preparation are becoming very scarce in the Principality, and in many districts of South Wales the people are beginning to suffer very much from the kilns not being kept up, or being appropriated to some other use. Next to bread and good water, oatmeal may be considered as one of the first necessaries of life to a rural population; indeed, in"}, {"text": "some parts of Wales it still (as in Scotland) takes the place of bread in many instances; and when this is not the case, its valuable and nutritive properties, in sickness and in health, when it is converted into a variety of wholesome and nourishing dishes by the Welsh, render it to them almost a Staff of Life.\" The Real Bread Campaign is a campaign that promotes bread made by local, independent bakeries and that is free of artificial additives. Bakeries in Abergavenny, Cwmbran and Grosmont are members of the movement. The Campaign claims that locally owned bakeries support more skilled jobs per loaf, help keep money circulating in the local economy and support local high streets. Yates notes that baking day and afternoon tea have long been traditions in Wales: \"\u2026.mountains of bread and spiced cakes take the family through the week. Nowhere has the bakestone been more utilized than in the Welsh kitchen \u2013 to make pancakes, griddle cakes and bread. There are cakes that can be rustled up for unexpected guests and cakes that will keep for several days, ready to fill the lunch boxes of hard-working hill farmers, miners, quarry workers and fishermen\" Milk, cheese and"}, {"text": "ice cream. Monmouthshire produces milk of a high quality and the county is an important milk-producing area. The Caldicot and Wentloog Levels form a low-lying belt of flat, reclaimed land which stretches from Chepstow to Cardiff and is protected by a sea wall. It is a traditional summer grazing area that has diversified into dairy farming in order to satisfy the demand for butter and cheese from Newport and Cardiff. Monmouthshire also produces cheese. Caerphilly cheese is recorded as being on sale in London long before other regional cheeses became available outside their area of origin. Other, less common varieties of cheese include Newport Cheese, which is a thick, square, cream cheese which was traditionally made in the month of May. Llanover writes about purchasing Sage cheese, which was a popular local cheese variety, at Pontllanfraith, where it was known as Mynydd Islwyn Cheese. Sage Cheese was usually green and, if the sage did not make the cheese green enough, then spinach juice would be added. Marigold Cheese was another local cheese variety. It was made by adding marigolds which would give the cheese a yellow colour and a pungent flavour. Marigold Cheese was considered to be a summer treat,"}, {"text": "rather than being a staple cheese. Tintern cheese is a mature cheddar cheese with a creamy texture it contains fresh chives and shallots. Justin Rees, in his book Welsh Cheese Recipes, has a recipe for a Cheese spread made from Tintern Cheddar, butter, eggs, salt and mustard. Y Fenni cheese has a tangy mustard flavour, moist texture and pale-yellow colouring. It is coated with wholegrain mustard seed and Welsh ale and is preserved in a cream-coloured wax. Rees recommends this cheese for a ploughman's lunch, a Welsh rarebit or to accompany a steak. In relation to cheese made from sheep milk Llanover comments: \"I confess that when the Hermit first told me that his best cheese owed its superiority to the addition of sheep's milk, I thought he was jesting\u2026.. but I am now fully aware that the milk of that valuable animal (the Welsh sheep), when mingled with that of the cow, produces cheese which is not only excellent to eat new, but, when old, is more like Parmesan than anything else I ever tasted\" Llanover writes that the proportions for such a cheese require one quart of ewe's milk to five quarts of cow's milk (or six quarts"}, {"text": "of ewe's milk to thirty quarts of cow's milk). This will make a cheese weighing from twelve to fourteen pounds which will be \"of a most superior quality, with the sharpness much admired in Parmesan\". Up until the 18th century large goat herds provided milk for cheese and there has been a revival in the production of goat cheese since the twentieth century, particularly around Abergavenny. . Pantysgawn Farm produces a soft goat's cheese based on an old recipe called Pantysgawn. The farm also produces St Illtyd Cheese, a mature cheese made with garlic, white wine and herbs; St David's Cheese, a continental-style washed-rind cheese; and Y Fenni cheese, a mature cheese milled with ale and mustard seeds. Rees writes that Y Fenni Cheese has a tangy mustard flavour, moist texture and pale-yellow colouring. It is coated with wholegrain mustard seed and Welsh ale and preserved in a cream-coloured wax. Davies refers to a recipe called Breast of Chicken filled with Y Fenni Cheese, where this cheese is used as a stuffing with parsley Davies notes that cheese making in Wales remained a cottage industry for longer than elsewhere in Britain and that Welsh girls were noted for being accomplished"}, {"text": "cheese and butter makers before they left home to start their own household and cheese-making as a cottage industry remains evident in the county. Monmouthshire fruit farms have also helped develop the county's ice cream production. Brookes Dairy Company is noted by Davies as an example of a local ice cream producer. It is based on a farm at Devauden, near Tintern Abbey and started production in 1991. Fruit and puddings. Monmouthshire was once one of the main fruit producers of Wales with production equal to the orchards of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Monmouthshire orchards were once particularly plentiful along the Herefordshire border. Welsh apples that originated in Monmouthshire include table apple varieties such as Breakwell's Seedling and Perthyre and cooking apples such as Cissy (from Newport), Machen (from Chepstow) and St Cecilia (from Newport). Gwehelog is a variety of pear from Monmouthshire. Yates notes that, today, old-fashioned varieties of apples are being used for making preserves and award-winning single-variety apple juices. A poem, published in 1720, and referred to in Cider Making in Wales, by J Williams-Davies (1984), describes the Counties of Wales and makes particular reference to the orchards of Monmouthshire: <poem> Gwrth y marched hyn yn union Nyddu"}, {"text": "rhai gwlanenni meinion Trin seidr o'r perllamau tewfrith A gweithio heliau gwellt y gwenith The women here are employed In spinning some fine flannels In making cider from the bounteous orchards And in making hats from wheat straw. </poem> The orchards of Monmouthshire also made an impression on William Wordsworth who refers to them in his poem Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey: <poem> The landscape with the quiet of the sky. The day is come when I again repose Here, under this dark sycamore, and view These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts, Which at this season, with their unripe fruits, Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves 'Mid groves and copses. </poem> Apple brandy Pudding (Pwdin Afal Brandi) is a recipe from Anne Hughes diary, it requires cooking apples, brown molasses sugar, brandy, bread crumbs, eggs and cream Freeman notes that the diary is a useful source of information on local farming practices and traditional recipes. During 2010 to 2012 Gwent Wildlife Trust surveyed over 800 acres of orchards in the county as part of a project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Countryside Council for Wales and the Wye Valley AONB Sustainable Development"}, {"text": "Fund. The aim was to make communities aware of their orchard heritage and the wildlife in them. It also created an orchard data base and aimed to plant new orchards. Some of the first peaches to be grown in Britain were cultivated at Troy House, the summer house of the Marquis of Worcester, located at Mitchel Troy. Peaches from Troy became famous when the Marquis offered them as a gift to Charles I of England just before the English Civil War. They became known as \"the peaches of Troy\". According to tradition, Troy peaches puzzled social commentators of the time because they could not believe such an exotic fruit could come from \"poor wet Wales\", which was assumed to be capable of only growing leeks. It was therefore assumed that the peaches came from Troy in Anatolia, thus adding considerably to the reputation of the Marquis, so that: \"all speculated how even so rich a man as the Marquis could afford the swift conveyance of such a perishable fruit across Europe to London...\" The remains of various types of fruit have been found on board the Newport Ship, this is a mid-fifteenth-century sailing vessel discovered by archaeologists in June 2002"}, {"text": "in the city of Newport, the fruit may have been for on-board consumption or formed part of a cargo, well-preserved remains have been found of walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pomegranates, grapes, figs and olive. The ship may have been built by Basque shipwrights, either in the Basque region of Spain or south-western France and the fruit found on board may have come from this region. Taruschio notes that the bilberry is \"a wonderfully flavoured tiny purple fruit with a grey bloom\" and notes it grows on low, dense bushes which makes them back-breaking to pick but worth the effort. He comments that in Wales bilberries are known as whimberries and that they grow in profusion on the Black Mountains and other mountains around Abergavenny. The Abergavenny area offers a number of locations where produce can be hand-picked. Berry Hill Farm, located in the village of Coedkernew, is noted by Davies as an example of a farm where fruit can be picked between June and October and where there is a farm shop.

It is then baked until crisp. Raglan Pudding, named after Raglan, is usually made with apple, pear, plum or blackberry. The flour and salt are sieved and beaten into a smooth batter with eggs and milk. This is poured over the fruit and baked in a hot oven. The pudding is served with fresh cream. Rhian Williams comments that this pudding always reminds her of the 'medelwyr', the harvesters of olden times. The medelwyr used to make the annual trek to the farms on the England-Wales border around Hereford, in July and August, then return to work on their own harvest in September.

Fruit pies are usually made with fruit such as apple, plum, damson, rhubarb, gooseberry or whinberry. Before the introduction of the oven Welsh puddings would be cooked on a flat bakestone. Yates notes that in the rural areas of South East Wales, most homes would have had an apple, damson, plum or medlar tree in the back garden. The fruit would be used to make puddings such as Apple Pie (Pwdin Afalau), Chilled Fruit Pudding (Pwdin Frwythau Oeredig), or used for cakes and preserves. Gooseberries are another traditional fruit. Yates mentions a recipe for Gooseberry fool (Ffwl Eirin Mair) and notes that this recipe can use gooseberries or other soft fruit when available, such as blackberries, raspberries, blackcurrant or rhubarb. Gwent Gooseberry Cream (Eirin Mair Hufennog Gwent) is a Gwent recipe from the book Favourite Welsh Recipes and involves poaching gooseberries in a saucepan and spooning them into individual ramekin dishes.

The vineyard is one of the oldest in Wales, being established in 1979, and overlooks the village of Tintern and the Abbey. The vineyard is planted with Pinot noir and other grape varieties. It produces wine and sparkling wine. Tintern Parva Bacchus, a dry white wine from this vineyard, was awarded a gold medal at the Welsh National Wine Competition in 2015.

They were then installed by artisans who were likely experienced in the technique of installing stained glass in 1902.There are a total of nineteen stained-glass windows in the church, with one of the most notable being a gift from two brothers who had lost their mother, wives, and children in the Galveston hurricane of 1900.

Having served for nearly three years, Eist joined the Metropolitan Police as a constable in June 1948. He has been described as \"a florid, handsome black-haired\" man when young. British Empire Medal. In 1967, Eist, then a sergeant based in Cheshunt, was awarded the British Empire Medal for bravery in single-handedly disarming an armed suspect. On 14 February that year, \"The London Gazette\" reported that following a series of reported robberies, the suspect's car was spotted, with Eist being one of a number of officers called in to provide backup. A man with a rifle was observed in the property's basement, subsequently escaping into the back garden, where he proceeded to sit on a wall and threaten to shoot the officers if they approached. Eist recognised the man as an escaped prisoner who, according to the Gazette, was known for being criminal. The man"}, {"text": "jumped into an adjacent garden, continuing to threaten the policemen, who in return threw flowerpots at him. Cornered at the end of the garden, the man pointed his rifle at each of the officers and threatened to fire if they approached; despite this, both Eist and a colleague tackled the man and disarmed him. The rifle was found to be loaded with three .22-calibre bullets with a fourth in the breech. Flying Squad. In May 1968 Eist joined the Flying Squad under Harold \"Tanky\" Challenor and was swiftly promoted to detective sergeant (second class). Eist eventually reached the rank of Detective Chief Inspector. He was appointed\u2014with Chief Superintendent James Marshall\u2014head of the Wembley Robbery Squad, where they encountered Bertie Smalls, head of the Wembley Mob. Eist had an in-depth and extensive knowledge and understanding of both London's underworld and the geography it occupied. The gangster Freddie Foreman described Eist as a \"rebel cop\", who would get drunk and stand on pub tables singing. The police historian Dick Kirby describes Eist as \"always controversial\", as was his relationship with senior officers. In an anecdote from Eist's tenure at Holloway: Involvement in the investigation into the assassination of Martin Luther King. In"}, {"text": "May 1968, following his assassination of Martin Luther King, James Earl Ray fled to London. On 8 June Ray was arrested at London Heathrow Airport attempting to leave for Brussels on a false Canadian passport. Ray was placed in the personal custody of Eist, first being held at Canon Row Police Station and then in Wandsworth Prison. Eist spent the first nine hours of Ray's custody with him in Canon Row, and whenever Ray was taken to the Old Bailey, they were handcuffed together. Eist later recalled how, \"initially, [Ray] didn't want to say anything to anybody\", merely glaring at Eist. Eist thought that, probably because of their constant contact, Ray \"began to look on me as somebody he could talk to\". Eist helped Ray acclimatise to the British prison service, for example, by arranging for him to receive cutlery\u2014which had initially been withheld in his custody for fear of suicide\u2014and bringing him magazines. Ray's later biographer, Gerald Posner, believes that, on account of these niceties, \"slowly the two developed a rapport, rare for Ray with anyone\". Eist later recalled that, even so, Ray would not respond to specific questions, preferring to talk in generalities. When Eist told Ray that"}, {"text": "the death of King had made little impact in Britain, Ray's response, said Eist, was \"you haven't seen anything yet\". Throughout Ray's subsequent extradition, trial and sentencing, US authorities were unaware of Eist's involvement with Ray. Eist had discussed it with various colleagues and companions over the years, but it was not until 1976 he met a USAF officer then resident in London; Eist mentioned his association with Ray, and the officer advised him to contact the FBI. By then, there was a new investigation into the association planned by Congress. Testimony to the HSCA. Two years after his retirement, Eist testified under oath to the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) on 9 November 1976 \u2013 its first day of public evidence \u2013 that Ray had mentioned disposing of a gun on account of how Ray \"had seen a policeman or police vehicle and thrown the gun away\". According to Posner, Eist's testimony \"caught Ray and his then-attorney Mark Lane by surprise\". The journalist Pat McMichael has speculated that because Eist and/or his evidence were unknown and unsuspected in America, his evidence was \"particularly damaging\". \"The Observer\" wrote at the time that Eist's evidence was the \"biggest"}, {"text": "blow\" to Ray. Eist testified as to Ray's blatant racism: not only did Ray refer to African-Americans with ethnic slurs, Eist said, but \"he also told me that he tried to get into Africa at some stage \u2013 he said to kill more of them\". Eist also reported that, while in British custody, Ray \"seemed quite elated\" \u2013 \"brimming with confidence\" \u2013 particularly as he believed he would receive payouts for television and media appearances. Then-chief crime reporter for the \"Daily Mail\", Owen Summers, provided a character witness for Eist at the HSCA, in which he told the committee that he had known Eist personally for over 18 years and had \"never been knowingly misled by Alec Eist and always found his information totally reliable\". One of the House Committee members, Chris Dodd, however, said he was \"extremely disturbed\" that Eist had not come forward with his evidence regarding Ray when the HSCA re-opened its investigations in 1977. Eist's answer \u2013 \"in clipped tones\" \u2013 was that he had been entangled in domestic affairs, namely his recent trial for corruption. Summers also disputed Dodd's charge that Eist had remained silent regarding Ray. Eist, stated Summers, had told him 10 years"}, {"text": "previously, saying that he remembered Eist telling him that Ray had \"coughed\" to Dr King's killing. In Eist's defence, argued Summers, he had not submitted it as he believed that his paper would not consider it newsworthy. Eist claimed that he had taken the advice of his American contact in Britain and reported it to the FBI's London station; however, the House Committee noted that it had failed to discover any records of Eist's report. Informants and accusations of corruption. Eist made liberal use of informants within the criminal community. Among his informers, he counted men such as Roy Garner, who was later convicted of smuggling cocaine, and became both a supergrass and a millionaire. Eist tried to avoid making appearances in court wherever possible but would ensure that reward payments always included his informant's 10%. He often attended to it personally, although Kirby describes it as \"questionable if the fee in its entirety was handed over to the snout\". However, his reluctance to attend court was viewed dimly by several colleagues. Morton reports an ex-Flying Squad officer as telling him that Eist: Eist has been described as either \"the most corrupt or the best informed\" Scotland Yard detective of"}, {"text": "his generation, argues the investigative journalist Martin Fido, noting how Eist \"reputedly offered a sliding tariff of payments\". These payments would be in return for him dropping or otherwise failing investigations (although drawing the line, says Fido, at murder and rape). Journalist Paul Lashmar has described Eist as \"by reputation the most corrupt Yard officer of the 1950s to mid-1970s which was no small achievement in such a packed field\". Writer James Morton interviewed a Detetective Sergeant who told him that, notwithstanding that he had a second-to-none knowledge of the criminal scene and its players, Eist would have been unable to \"get information without going some way towards them. There is no villain in London who will not give you information if you go about it the right way\". A former colleague of Eist's described Eist's strategy being to effectively self-fund his informers, stating that \"if he got \u00a3200 from a villain for giving him bail, Eist would give \u00a3195 to cultivate an informant\". Likewise, crime journalist Duncan Campbell suggests that Eist was \"one of the most active bent officers\" of the period. Kirby also suggests that \"Eist's probity was also questionable\", and describes occasions on which individuals were arrested"}, {"text": "for crimes that his informers had committed. Reg Dudley \u2013 a North London \"career criminal\" who was wrongfully convicted of double murder in 1977 \u2013 was a fence during the 1960s and had, he wrote, a \"close relationship\" with Eist, whom he calls \"bent\". Dudley asserts that \"for a few grand channelled through [Dudley], Alec would do what he could to make evidence 'disappear'\". Kirby asserts that Eist was close enough to Dudley and other villains of the day to socialise with. He notes a contemporary of Eist's at Holloway saying that an \"obvious...surveillance photo\" existed of various London gangsters on a cruise ship, where \"skulking in the shadows one could see the unmistakable features of Alec Eist\". Eist has also been alleged to have had links to the perpetrators of the Baker Street robbery, obstructed some of the prosecutions, and later been paid off with jewellery from the robbery's proceeds. Accusations of corruption also bogged down Eist's appearance before the HSCA. His evidence was questioned by Ray's defence attorney Mark Lane. Lane told the committee that Eist had been \"dismissed in disgrace\" from Scotland Yard, and cited charges of corruption, perjury and robbery: \"if you knew of this man's"}, {"text": "background, you have done a disservice to the American people by raising the charges\" he argued, and considered that accepting Eist's evidence at face value amounted to \"perhaps the most outrageous thing this committee has ever done\". After the hearing, Lane told journalists that, although he only knew what he did from a British lawyer to whom he had spoken on the phone, the lawyer believed Eist \"was possibly the most corrupt man in the modern history of Scotland Yard\". Eist rejected Lane's assertions, describing them as \"absolutely untrue\". Contemporaneous news reports describe the House Committee as being divided on whether to accept Eist's evidence. Eist said, \"I live in a very small village and this is crucifying me\". He suggested that Lane's allegations were a defence strategy to shift culpability for King's assassination onto the FBI, who, Eist said, \"could not have acted more honourably to get that man brought to justice\" and that \"absolutely no way\" had they been involved. However, although Lane accused Eist of having stood trial for bribery and having been suspected of involvement in jewel robberies across England, Eist was only ever charged on one count involving a false alibi and perverting the course"}, {"text": "of justice. This charge had been dropped as the name of the arresting officer had been mistaken as Eist, and the judge \u2013 instructing the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty \u2013 said \"I have come to the conclusion that there is no evidence to link him with any of the counts in which his name appears\". He was released immediately and the British government paid for his defence. Later life. In 1971, Eist headed one of the four teams investigating the Baker Street robbery, in which a gang tunnelled from a West End restaurant in the vault of a Lloyds Bank. A large amount\u2014estimated to be between \u00a3150,000 and nearly \u00a34 million (or \u00a3 to \u00a3 in 2021)\u2014was stolen, including cash and jewellery. Eist's command was to deal with \"outside inquiries\". This was a position in which he could utilise his main asset, his contacts in the London underworld, which by then were \"unrivalled\" in the force. Eist's team, through intelligence, got the investigation its first leads. In 2021, two \"Daily Mirror\" investigative journalists, Tom Pettifor and Nick Sommerland, alleged that Eist took a cut of the takings \"in exchange for protecting the gang\". One of"}, {"text": "Eist's last high-profile successes came in January 1975 when he was commended for \"outstanding diligence and detective ability leading to the arrest and conviction of an active and violent gang of robbers\". On this occasion, he was also commended at the Old Bailey and by the Director of Public Prosecutions. The arrival of Ernie Millen as Chief Superintendent of the Flying Squad led to procedural and philosophical changes: no longer could officers arrest stooges in place of their own informants, and the practice of arresting criminals in the act but letting ones' informants at the scene escape was also quashed. This was a new practice that, Kirby argues, must have caused \"considerable unease\" to officers such as Eist. The author Gordon Bowers describes Eist as being \"under a cloud\" over alleged corruption in the last years of his career, for which he was investigated by Detective Chief Inspector Alan Rattray, although no charges were brought. Eist was returned to uniformed police duties in 1976, with responsibility for monitoring traffic wardens.

With Dudley now arrested and facing a murder trial, Eist was placed on 90-days' sick leave. Eist retired on 26 February 1976 on medical grounds. Kirby describes his mental health as being, by then, \"fragile\". At some point, he appears to have opened a Haberdasher. Morton quotes an anonymous source as saying that, following his retirement, his property career \"did no good. He was always having fires and burglaries\u2014it was an embarrassment.\" Finally, he opened a pub, the Green Man, in Six Mile Bottom, Cambridgeshire, where he died on 27 Jan 1982. Decorations.

In a May 1982 investigation by \"The Observer\", the paper cited the 1970s gangster Joe Cannon as having \"significant evidence\" against Eist, who Cannon also accused of personally robbing him of \u00a3200 in cash. Freddie Foreman later suggested that Eist \"used to invite villains to his promotion parties\" in hotels such as the Dorchester, where Eist would warn the attendees of any approaching police attention that he was aware of, Foreman claimed. Criminals involved in such high-profile raids as the 1980 silver bullion heist also made allegations against Eist. One, Michael Gervaise, made the \"startling allegation\" to a court in 1982 Eist was one of several high-ranking police officers bribed and who had \"actively participated in robberies as part of [Gervais'] gang\".

In addition, the flight crew's situational awareness that the aircraft was in a stall was short, as they were distracted by the compressor stall on the no. 2 engine and communications with ATC. The NTSB also stated that an angle of attack display on the flight deck could have helped the crew situational awareness. The fact that the crew lacked a visual horizon at nighttime was another factor due to the aircraft being in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) from the time the stall maneuver was performed until impact. Neither captain Avery nor captain Lemming had ever flown a DC-8 post modification on an FEF until December 21 (the initial FEF that was aborted), though the director of flight technical programs authorized Avery to serve as a pilot in command on post modification FEF's.

The series is named after the term used to describe a network of branching blood vessels. This specific installation, Plexus A1, was installed in the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum. It was a part of the \u201cWonder\u201d exhibit, an event that featured the work of nine different contemporary artists and celebrated the reopening of the gallery after a two year renovation. Plexus A1 was designed without the use of a single mock-up or any aid from computer generated algorithms. Construction occurred in 2015 over the brief span of just 10 days. It was solely composed of regular, pre-dyed, 100% polyester sewing thread. Plexus A1 utilized 15 different hues of thread, totaling 60 miles in length. Design and construction.

Dawe\u2019s pieces are extremely site-specific, requiring him to closely map out the room. The most challenging feature of the Renwick Gallery was the width of the designated zone. This width was quite compact due to four preexisting support columns. His investigation also included a great deal of forethought regarding how to best interact with the lighting of the piece\u2019s eventual surroundings. After gathering pools of information, Dawe spent days extensively working on several versions of beginning sketches. These computer-rendered sketches assessed numerous combinations of color progressions, structures, and sequences. Dawe has no background in mathematics, the most complex formula he employed during this process was the Pythagorean Theorem. He also never used algorithms; rather, he primarily depended on repeated visual experimentation. His trial and error process, while tedious, did not end until he felt he had optimized the trompe l\u2019oeil effect.

His final configuration, which sharply fanned off the two dimensional plane, maximized the angles available within the room\u2019s tight width. Plexus A1 was constructed completely by hand. It was erected by Dawe with the help of two assistants. The team constructed 4 wooden platforms, two fixed from the ground and two diagonally fixed from the 19\u2019 ceiling. Each platform was then configured with a network of metallic hooks. Next, Dawe meticulously stretched bundles of embroidery thread into a specifically ordered, color-categorized layers. This organization ensured the execution of his intended gradient. Yet, the color scheme of each layer was not entirely rigid. Some of the hues overlap, a feature that gave the piece a gradual and gentle transition through the spectrum. With the assistance of a mechanical lift, Dawe used a telescoping rod as a giant needle to individually string each thread up and through the hooks pinned to the ceiling beams. He then lowered the lengths of the fiber down to his assistants, who looped the thread through the anchored hooks resting on the ground.

Social Conversations and Interpretations. The process Dawe used to create Plexus A1 is an adaption of a traditional embroidery method practiced in his home village, just outside Mexico City.

Despite his grandmother\u2019s wishes, Dawes routinely stole bundles of thread in an endeavor to learn the craft on his own. Years later, while undertaking his MFA at the University of Texas, Dawe revisited this practice during his conception of the \u201cPlexus\u201d series. Given this context, Canadian art historian, Jonathan Rinck views \u201cPlexus A1\u201d as a piece that directly challenges the patriarchal, \u201cmachismo\u201d norms prevalent in both Mexico and the U.S..

In the last decade, several strains of \"Synechococcus elongatus\" have been produced in laboratory environments, which ultimately led to the production of \"Synechococcus elongatus\" UTEX 2973. \"S. elongatus\" UTEX 2973 is a mutant hybrid from UTEX 625. In 1955, William A. Kratz and Jack Myers described a fast-growing cyanobacterial strain, \"Anacystis nidulans\" which was deposited in the University of Texas algae culture collection as \"Synechococcus leopoliensis\" UTEX 625 However, that strain had lost its rapid growth property and was also unable to grow at high temperatures, unlike the original strain.

This specific SNP causes an amino acid substitution at the 252nd position of the protein. Metabolism. \"Synechococcus elongatus\" UTEX 2973 is photoautotrophic and has one of the shortest doubling times reported for cyanobacteria at 1.5 hours in a BG11 medium at 42 \u00b0C under continuous 1,500 \u03bcmoles photons\u00b7m\u22122\u00b7s\u22121 white light with 5% CO2.

Immortalized in the 1990s by skateboarders like Eric Koston, in the 1993 skate video part \"Goldfish,\" and Ronnie Creager, in the 1996 skate video part \"Trilogy,\" these videos both defined early street skateboarding style as being focused on technical prowess and creativity in interacting with the urban environment and established this courthouse"}, {"text": "plaza, with its perfect ledges, as the mecca for any skateboarder trying to film a video part and make a name in a growing industry.

In addition, the illegality of skateboarding at this location helped establish the \"skaters vs. authorities\" mentality that blossomed from 90s skate culture.

The term Intellectual Property has various protection mechanisms that range from patents, copyrights, industrial design rights, trademarks and trade secrets. Due to the differing protection mechanism, each one has their own protection duration, criteria and purpose. Dr. Gallini's paper \"analyzes and compares two types of cooperative agreements that combine Intellectual Property: patent pools and copyright collectives\". Since each protection mechanism has its own protection duration, criteria and purpose, Dr. Gallini questions \"what are those differences and specific circumstances that would require a different (e.g., more or less restrictive) approach toward patent pools and collectives?\". To answer the question she \"evaluate[s] antitrust policy in three environments in which owners of the intellectual property: (1) are vertically integrated into the downstream (product) market; (2) face competition in the upstream (input) market and"}, {"text": "(3) own downstream products that do not require a license on the pooled IP but compete with products that do\". Dr. Gallini's paper found that even though there were different antitrust concerns between patent pools and collectives, \"the welfare consequences and... recommended antitrust treatment is surprisingly uniform\". In the first environment, patent pools and copyright collectives continue to be efficient for some members that are vertically integrated if they are welfare-enhancing when there is the absence of vertical integration. Second, competition between firm in the \"upstream market is mitigated if members retain the right to license separately outside of the pool or collective\". Finally, in the third environment, pools and collectives become welfare enhancing when they face downstream market competition, \"even if some members have ownership stake in those competing products\". \"Intellectual Property: When is it the Best Incentive System?\" (2002). Nancy Gallini and Suzanne Scotchmer review the \"economic reasoning that supports patent and other intellectual property over the alternatives\". Currently the argument against intellectual property is that it hinders future innovation. There are some inventions that do not fall under patents, but received \"sui generis\" protection. Which raises the question: \"are there natural market forces that protect investors so"}, {"text": "that formal protections or other incentives are not necessary?\" Or is intellectual property the best system? Dr. Gallini and Dr. Scotchmer found that intellectual property is the best protection mechanism \"when value and cost are not observable by the sponsor\". Their paper disregards the argument that intellectual property hinders innovation. Rather, intellectual property promotes innovation because it is conditional on the invention or product's success. Their second conclusion is that \"neither IP nor prizes can aggregate the information that is decentralized among firms\". Firms that obtain prizes or differ in prizes receive[d] can be improved \"on a simple prize system or patent system\". But there should have been negotiations beforehand to select the favored firms. \"Patent Policy and Costly Imitation\" (1992). Mukesh Eswaran and Nancy Gallini extend the \"theory of optimal patents to allow for costly imitation of patented innovation\". Patents are designed to promote research and to encourage the creation of new inventions \"so that others can use and build upon research results\". Therefore, patents have two outcomes: the invention is beyond the means of imitation and is not a threat to the innovator or the invention can easily be imitated and becomes a threat to the innovator. The"}, {"text": "author's state that the more common case between the two is that the imitation is more costly but not prohibitively. They conduct a study where they model optimal patent policy with costly imitation that endogenizes imitation. Their study found that innovations that have patent designs discourage all imitation because it is too costly. The second result they found was that an innovation that had a broad patent (meaning that there was no imitation) \"adjusted to generate the desired return from research\". They make several recommendations to avoid costly imitations. The first being to give shorter patent life and \"the innovator could license its innovation to discourage imitation\". They acknowledge the limitation of their model and call for the model to be \"extended to examine a sequence of improvements of the original innovation or a sequence of applications of the original innovation in distinct markets\". The last recommendation is to try and examine the optimality of the patent when only a single uniform policy is applied to various innovations with different social values. \"Producer-Consumer Trade-Offs in Export Cartels: The Wheat Cartel Case\" (1980).

Colin Carter, Nancy Gallini and Andrew Schmitz \"consider a market in which the commodity in question has a relatively large domestic demand component\" where there is a sharp distinction \"between a producer export cartel and a government export cartel\". They state that in this model, the producer export cartel \"may lose from a government cartel\". Their paper uses the model above to conduct a study on the world wheat economy and they find that the above outcome is true and that \"there is a strong possibility that producers would lose from a government wheat cartel if there are decreasing returns in production\". The only way to make up for the lost profits for the producer export cartel is if the government was to tax the consumers. If they do not, there is no welfare gain to the producers. They do warn that their model is under the free trade model and that there is the assumption that importers do not retaliate. Consumers are the true winners in this model."}, {"text": "In early-1970s, the CBS television network aired American Basketball Association (ABA) games, specifically league's annual All-Star Game/selected playoff games.

While the diversification focused on female artists in particular, Theaster Gates's previous work on renovation pieces in Chicago brought him to the Garden's attention as an artist exemplifying a \"civic-minded\" strategy. Within a year, Gates was commissioned to construct Black Vessel for a Saint, completing construction of the exterior just in time for the Garden's reopening on June 10, 2017.

As the church was demolished, Gates continued to buy pieces of its remains to be used in later works, with the final two pieces being the church's bell, and its 6-foot tall statue of St. Laurence. Seeking a home for the life-size statue, Gates temporarily displayed St. Laurence in Venice, Italy, and Bregenz, Austria, before receiving his commission for the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden in 2017.

Gates believes that like many under-resourced Chicago communities, the statue of St. Laurence was cast aside and forgotten, and thus the protective layer of tar is meant to serve as a symbolic protection against decay and neglect, just as Gates is working to reverse the decay and neglect seen in many Chicago neighborhoods. In addition, Gates saw the implementation of St. Laurence as particularly fitting for a space of a reflection due to St. Laurence's role as the patron saint of librarians and archivists.

It is also used by Italian scientists to refer to lagunar mudflats (also called tidal flats), such as those found in the Lagoon of Venice. They are areas of shallow lagunar bottoms which are normally submerged, but emerge at low tides. They are generally without vegetation. Only associations of \"Zostera noltii\" (dwarf eelgrass) can be found. They originate from sediments carried by sea and stronger currents which are deposited on the lagoon bottom. They often surround the edges of the lagoon's barene (a venetian term for saltmarshes). The velme, together with the barene (saltmarshes) and the shallow bottoms, constitute one of the most characteristic but also most fragile environments of the ecosystem of the Lagoon of Venice. They are subject to variations in their extent depending on the amount of materials (silt, sand and other sediments) they lose or acquire. Sediment acquisition leads to the consolidation of the velma's sediment soil and sediment loss leads to erosion of this soil. If the balance between consolidation and erosion fails, the velme and saltmarshes risk disappearing. Erosion and loss of velma areas. The loss of velma areas in the Lagoon"}, {"text": "of Venice has been occurring for more than two centuries. From the early 19th century the combined saltmarsh area had decreased form 155 km2 to 40 km2. This has also involved a loss of velma areas because many of them surround the saltmarshes. Velma areas are often under bathymetric (depth) pressure, which makes them less likely to emerge at low tides, leading to loss of stability and potential loss of their ecological function. This has been caused by infrastructural works carried out in the last two centuries. In the 19th century breakwaters were built at the lagoon inlets to stabilise their shape and orientation and to intensify the inflow of sea current in order to create conditions for deepening them and the channels which start from them. This was done to facilitate the transit of larger ships into the lagoon. In the 20th century, an even deeper and wider navigation canal was dug from the Malamocco inlet to the port of Marghera for large container ships and oil tankers to sail to new industrial areas. The depth of the channel form the Lido inlet was also increased to let large modern cruise ships through. These kinds of interventions have led"}, {"text": "to the displacement of sediments which are lost out of the lagoon and an increase in depth of the lagoon floor form and average of -0.75 m to one of -1.5 m since 1902. The average loss of sediments is 2.2 million m3 per year. Erosion in the Lido basin was 14 cm in 1930-1970 and 12 cm in 1970\u20132000; in the Malamocco basin it was 20 cm and 33 cm respectively; in the Chioggia basin it was 8 cm and 20 cm; in the mid lagoon 14 cm and 20 cm. The average deepening of lagoon floor has also made the wave action created by winds stronger, producing a further erosive effect. In addition to normal strength winds, Venice can also be hit by strong winds caused the Bora from the northeast, especially in the winter, or the Scirocco from the southeast, which can occur from March to November. The latter, when combined a rising tide, can cause the \"acqua alta\" phenomenon (exceptionally high tides which cause flooding). Another erosive problem is caused by wave action created by passing motorboats. Shelter for benthic species.

As a result, they form Benthic zones. Their substratum gives shelter to Benthos (lagoon bottom species): \"polychaetes\" (bristle worms), \"Daphnia\" (water fleas), molluscs (particularly bivalves) and some small crustaceans, such as caridean shrimps, from the low tide. These, in turn, provide food for some species of water birds, both nesting and migratory. Food source for birds. Waders (called shorebirds in North America) are associated with the tidal variations in water level. They are found in mudflats which are exposed at low tide and or just about underwater in very shallow waters, where they search for their Benthos preys in the mud. Their thin, pointed beaks penetrate the mud to catch preys which do not have significant reactions. Their short legs allow them to walk where the water is only a few centimetres deep. Their legs and beaks are often brightly coloured, but their prey cannot see them and flee. During high tides, when their food is underwater, they rest at Roost sites. Some species feed throughout the tidal cycle shifting their feeding between mudflats and saltmarshes in synchrony with the tide rises and"}, {"text": "falls. The loss of mudflats and saltmarshes and disturbance at feeding and roosting sites poses a considerable threat to these populations. Their dependence on the presence of mudflats is a problem as these are one of the most difficult lagunar areas to restore and maintain. Many species are strongly migratory. They nest in northern Europe and Asia and winter on the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. Decreased food availability forces migratory species to prolong their flight periods, which results in a decrease in reproductive success and increase mortality. Common waders in the lagoon are the black-winged stilt (\"Himantopus himantopus\"), pied avocet (\"Recurvirostra avosetta\"), Eurasian curlew (\"Numenius arquata\"), black-tailed godwit (\"Limosa limosa\"), common redshank (\"Tringa totanus\"), spotted redshank (\"Tringa erythropus\"), common greenshank (\"Tringa nebularia\") and Eurasian oystercatcher (\"Haematopus ostralegus\").

In addition the mentioned roles, it plays an important part in the winter diet of the whooper and mute swan, the brent goose, wigeon and wildfowl. Protection of the velme. In the Lagoon of Venice some velma areas have been undergoing marked degradation due to the inconsistent nature of the bottom sediments or erosion. Consequently, there is degradation of the benthic species in the bottom sediments of the lagoon with pronounced bathymetric (depth) pressure.

Against Los Angeles relievers Adam Kolarek, Kenta Maeda, and Joe Kelly, the Nationals offense managed only more hit, a double by shortstop Trea Turner in the ninth, their only base runner after the fourth inning; the Dodgers pitching staff finished with a combined 13 strikeouts, giving up only three walks. The Washington bullpen fared poorly, allowing four hits, two walks, and four earned runs over two innings of work. With one out in the seventh, Nationals reliever Tanner Rainey \u2013 making the first postseason appearance of his career \u2013 walked pinch hitter Joc Pederson and gave up a single to third baseman Justin Turner. Fernando Rodney came in to relieve Rainey, walked Taylor to load the bases, and allowed a two-out single to Muncy that scored Bellinger and Turner and stretched the Dodgers\u2032 lead to 4\u20130.

Game 2, October 4. 9:37 p.m. (EDT) at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California Starting for Los Angeles, three-time Cy Young Award-winner Clayton Kershaw had a rocky first inning, giving up a double to Washington's leadoff hitter, shortstop Trea Turner, on the first pitch of the game.

Retiring the first 14 batters he faced, he pitched a perfect game through innings, no Dodger reaching first base until catcher Will Smith singled with two outs in the fifth inning. Strasburg's 23-game postseason scoreless streak, which dated back to the 2014 National League Division Series, finally came to an end in the sixth inning when Dodgers pinch hitter Matt Beaty singled, advanced to third on a double by right fielder Joc Pederson, and scored on a sacrifice fly by third baseman Justin Turner.

Martinez then made a risky decision, intentionally walking the hot-hitting Muncy and bringing the potential winning run to the plate in the form of Will Smith. Hudson walked Smith on four pitches to load the bases before striking out shortstop Corey Seager for the final out.

The midge family is very similar to the mosquito family in morphology, except that they do not feed on human blood. The larvae are commonly called bloodworms and are used as fishing bait in Japan. Their larvae are scavengers for organic materials at the bottom of freshwater bodies. Adult midges rarely feed since they only emerge during fall and live up to a few weeks. As adult male midges emerge, they form large swarms that make dance-like movements in the air to facilitate mating, so as to attract females to approach the swarms. Such swarming behavior helps facilitate mating, but is also a severe nuisance to Japanese local residents, as well as tourists in areas close to eutrophic lakes or polluted water bodies in Japan. Taxonomy. \"Tokunagayusurika akamusi\" is in the family of \"Chironomidae\" and in the order \"Diptera\". The most ancient families of flies are midges, mosquitoes, and others in their broad subgroup of flies. The family name, \"Chironomidae\", is derived from the Greek word for \"pantomimist\""}, {"text": "which describes someone who pantomimes, for the fly's typical posture of having its forelegs held out in front of its body. More than 7,300 species in this family have been described scientifically. Description. Adult \"T. akamusi\" has a body length of , and is dark grey to black in color. As true flies, the species has only one pair of wings. Adult midges look very similar to mosquitoes in that their bodies are slender and dainty. Both species have long, narrow wings and long, thin legs. Male midges often have feathery antennae which sense the high-pitched sounds made by female wings. However, it is possible to distinguish them from mosquitos because they do not have scales on their wings like mosquitoes do, and they tend to hold their first pair of legs forward when at rest, as opposed to outward as mosquitoes do. Additionally, midges do not bite, corresponding to the name nonbiting midge. Distribution and habitat. Midge larvae live at the bottom of lakes, ponds, and other freshwater bodies. They usually use fine sediment and mucus to construct tubes to live in. Adult midges are common near freshwater bodies, as females lay eggs and new generations of larvae live"}, {"text": "and emerge from there. In Japan, adults generally emerge during October and November. However, the time of emergence also varies, depending on the lake and its water temperature. For instance, at the shores of Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan, midges emerge from November to early December. Life History. The life history of T\". akamusi\" consists of four stages: egg, larva, and adult. Most of its lifetime is spent in the larval stage at the bottom of freshwater bodies, which spans from 1 to 3 years. Midge larvae are commonly called bloodworms, because of their red color from the hemoglobin molecules inside their long, thin, cylindrical bodies. The body is usually curved and has segments and a distinctly separated head, which is typically of a darker color than the rest of the body. They are often used as baits in fishing. When they emerge as adults, they usually only live for a few weeks. The species typically emerges in autumn, and its emergence depends on the temperature of the bottom water in the lakes. It usually takes place when the temperature of the bottom water is in the range of 10 to 18 degrees Celsius. The species is"}, {"text": "once studied in Lake Suwa and Lake Kasumigaura, where 99 percent of cumulative emergence took place in between the temperature 10.2 and 14.2 degrees Celsius and 1 percent cumulative emergence in between 15.3 and 18.1 degrees Celsius. The study has concluded that a decrease in bottom water temperature could trigger the emergence of \"T. akamusi\" and a further decrease below 10 degrees Celsius could terminate the pupation. Food resources. Midge larvae are scavengers and eat a variety of organic matter. Adult midges, however, rarely take in anything but moisture (honeydew, flower nectar, etc.). They have short proboscis, unlike mosquitoes, and do not bite humans. Mating. The mating system of \"T. akamusi\" consists of two alternative tactics\u2013one is swarming and the other is ground searching. Swarming is when males wait for mates in an aerial swarm in the air. Ground searching is when males actively search for mates on vegetation. A study on males\u2019 wing length and their mating tactics has found that large males tended to form groups in swarms, where the larger males among the swarming males mated with more females. Here, male body sizes are determined by their longer wing lengths. Small males, however, tended to find mates"}, {"text": "through ground searching, and this pattern seemed stronger when large males already formed groups in swarming. The study also looked at the wing asymmetry in males and found that males who have extremely asymmetric wings (wings of very different lengths) were less successful at mating. When male midges search for females, their antennae respond to the unique frequency of the sound made by female wingbeats. Observers have reported that singing a particular musical note, clapping hands, or making certain sudden noises can cause an entire swarm of these flies to suddenly leap upward or closer to the sound, or wild disarray in their collective movements. Swarming. Male midges are famous for aggregating in big swarms that \u201cdance\u201d in the air. Such cloud-like swarms often form in early evening when the sun is getting low, at the tip of a bush, on a hilltop, over a pool of water, or even sometimes above a person. The forming of such swarms is not out of instinct, but an adaptive behavior \u2013 a \u201cconsensus\u201d \u2013 between the individuals within the swarms. There is also a pattern within each swarm that explains the \u201cdancing.\u201d Each individual midge in the swarm flies to the farthest"}, {"text": "upwind edge of the marker zone, and then slowly flows to the downwind side, followed by flying back to the upwind edge. Together, it looks like all individual midges are tied to the marker, \u201clike tiny balloons.\u201d Swarming serves multiple purposes, including the facilitation of mating. However, it is also suggested that swarming is a ritual, because there is rarely any male midge by itself and not in a swarm. This could have formed due to the benefit of lowering inbreeding by having males of various genes gathering in one spot. Wing movements. Certain \"gnat-like midges\" beat their wings more than 1,000 cycles per second (more than 1,000 Hz), making them the fastest wingbeats in the world. However, these \"midges\" are in the genus of \"Forcipomyia\", commonly called biting midges. Within the common midge family, on the other hand, 650 and 700 Hz sets the general range of wingbeat frequencies. Though slower than biting midges, their wing movements are still extremely fast. Such wing movements, hovering, and other aerodynamic feats are only possible because of the flies' asynchronous muscle systems. Their muscle systems are asynchronous because there is not a direct correlation between each muscle contraction and a wing flap."}, {"text": "Instead, the muscle contractions cause changes in the shape of the thorax of the midges, which facilitates the extremely fast movements of their wings. Enemies. A large variety of animals feed on midge larvae and adults, making midges prey to these animals. One example of a midge enemy is the dragonfly, which often flies repeatedly through midge swarms to capture midges for nutrients. Genomes. There have been several extensive studies on the hemoglobin of the aquatic midge 4th-instar larvae as a potential biomarker for monitoring environmental contaminants. In \"T. akamusi\", the hemoglobin from 4th-instar larva consists of eleven individual components (IA, IB, II, III, IV, V, VIA, VIB, VII, VIII, IX) on a DEAE-cellulose column. The eleven components can be divided into two different types based on their spectroscopic features: normal type (N-type) and low type (L-type). The most distinctive difference between the two seems to be the presence or absence of the distal (E7) histidine residue, which is important to the stability of the bound dioxygen. The homology test for 40 N-terminal amino acid residues of all eleven components also demonstrates that \"T. akamusi\" hemoglobin consists of two different clusters. This further shows a very early separation of the"}, {"text": "N-type and L-type in the phylogenetic tree. Interactions with humans. Fishing baits. Bloodworms (midge larvae) can be used as fishing baits, and are widely sold on markets in Japan. Midge allergy. Because of the distinctive mating system that male midges adopt, midges form large swarms in the air whenever they emerge during the mating season. Their emergence lines up with seasonal human allergic reactions, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis and has thus been suspected to cause seasonal human allergic reactions. Nuisance. \"Tokunagayusurika akamusi\" midges are attracted to lights, both indoor and outside. They emerge from eutrophic lakes, as well as polluted water bodies in Japan. According to multiple studies in Japan, they have become intolerable because they pose a serious nuisance and hurt the economies. In the Lake Suwa area, massive swarms of adult midges of \"T. akamusi\" frequently occur after they emerge, and cause problems in the daily life of local residents and for the tourists as well. In the area, the emergence peaks each year around mid October. They also form swarms around and often land on windows, walls, and the laundry people have hung outside.

Grime Daily was formed in 2009 by founders Matt 'Sketchy' Thorne, Pierre Godson-Amamoo and Koby 'Posty' Hagan. The platform was created in order to create a space for UK urban artists to showcase themselves and release music. At the time, the platform was named 'Grime Daily', to denote its affiliation with the grime music scene. For the first week, the website was used to upload old grime DvDs and videos, however they also wanted to film their own unique content. Initially, the plan was to have Jamal Edwards film content which would then be uploaded to Grime Daily, however Jamal instead filmed content for his own platform SB.TV. Posty instead decided to buy a camera and film content for Grime Daily himself. The \"Daily\" is a reference to the fact that the outlet originally intended to release grime related content every single day. Early on, one way this was done was by doing long interviews with artists, splitting the interview into parts, and releasing the parts from the interview throughout the week. An interview with grime artist J2K was Grime Daily's first ever interview. Co-founder Sketchy had previously"}, {"text": "built J2K's MySpace page, which led to Posty asking Sketchy to build the Grime Daily website. In its early days, the website struggled with high traffic and would go down on occasion. Within the first year, they hit over a million views a month. In 2011, the original Grime Daily YouTube channel was taken down by YouTube, resulting in the loss of over 2000 videos. It was alleged that this was because a man had shown a knife on a music video for one of Scorcher's songs, however this was denied by both Scorcher and Grime Daily (the music video was still actually available on the artist's own channel). Posty also stated it was claimed the channel was terminated due to receiving 3 copyright strikes, however this was disputed by Posty and Sketchy. Posty also stated they were told someone had bought views for a video. Posty, one of GRM's founders, stated in a 2020 interview that he still did not know why the channel was originally taken down. The platform rebranded as GRM Daily in 2012, which stands for \"Grime and Rap Music\", and created a new YouTube channel (the one-year delay was due to a fear that the"}, {"text": "channel would be banned again if they returned too quickly). The new name was to clarify its expanded scope with not just grime, but also British hip hop and related genres. In 2012 Grime Daily joined with The BiG! Agency, now taking responsibility for the commercial operations of GRM Daily's website, and Silver Bullet Digital (SBD). In 2013, GRM Daily had over 40,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel. It took 7 years (from its founding) for GRM Daily to gain over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. The channel rapidly grew from there, earning over a million in 2018, and 5 million by 2022. In 2015, GRM created the \"Rated Awards\", an awards show dedicated to UK urban music. In 2020, GRM released a documentary entitled \"Together We Rise\", detailing the platforms history. The platform released \"GRM 10\", an album to celebrate the platforms 10 year anniversary. The album featured artists such as Aitch, B Young, Unknown T, D Double E, M Huncho, Dutchavelli, Not3s, Blade Brown, Nafe Smallz, Yxng Bane, and others. \"Daily Duppy\". \"Daily Duppy\" is a platform for freestyle releases.

Legacy. By 2012, the Grime Daily website was taking in 70 million website hits and had over 50,000 daily visitors. The platform played a part in popularising artists such as Tinie Tempah, Tinchy Stryder, and Wretch 32 in the early 2010s. GRM Daily has been very influential in propping up UK urban artists from various genres, such as grime, British hip hop, and Afroswing. The platform has been credited for bringing fame to artists such as Stormzy, Dave, J Hus, B Young, Amelia Mon\u00e9t, Kojo Funds, Steel Banglez, Not3s, Mabel, and many others.

He lived during the 19th century near Tillamook Bay, Oregon. Chief Kilchis and Chief Illga (also known as Tse-tse-no or Illga Adams) were the last Tillamook leaders to preside uncontested in the Tillamook's homeland around Tillamook Bay. Kilchis may have been a descendant of one of the survivors of a Spanish Manila Galleon that wrecked near Neahkahnie Mountain and the mouth of the Nehalem River. Known as the beeswax wreck, it was probably the \"Santo Cristo de Burgos\", which was lost in 1693 while sailing from the Philippines to Mexico. Warren Vaughn, an early white settler in Tillamook, knew Kilchis and believed he was a descendant of one of the survivors of the wreck, and said that Kilchis himself claimed such ancestry. Kilchis was described by many people as looking strikingly different from other native Tillamook people. Many assumed he was partially of sub-Saharan African ancestry, having curly hair and beard, and other features settlers saw as African. There are various stories about his supposed ancestry. Warren Vaughn claimed that Kilchis's father was a \"full-blooded negro\" who"}, {"text": "had been a blacksmith on the \"wax-ship\" and had been taken in into the Tillamook tribe. Kilchis's mother was, according to Vaughn, a Nehalem Tillamook woman who had married the blacksmith survivor. Vaughn did not know when the \"wax-ship\" wrecked. If it was the Spanish galleon of 1693 then Kilchis's father could not have been one of the survivors, but a more distant ancestor could have been. Chief Kilchis appears in the historical novel \"Trask\" by Don Berry, in which he is described as \"part-negro\". American settlers began encroaching on Tillamook land after the 1850 Donation Land Claim Act, which encouraged American homesteading in Oregon Territory. During the 1850s white settlers literally crowded the Tillamooks off their beaches and many conflicts occurred. Chief Kilchis and Chief Illga met with the settlers Elbridge Trask and Warren Vaughn to negotiate peace, but conflict continued intermittently. Anson Dart, the Oregon Superintendent of Indian Affairs, tried to make land cession treaties with the Tillamook under Kilchis, and the Nehalem people, and many others. The treaty with Kilchis of August 7, 1851, went unratified. Dart's successor, Joel Palmer, was able to make new treaties, which were ratified, to acquire large amounts of native land, including"}, {"text": "the Tillamook land. During the many inter-related Indian wars of the 1850s, such as the Yakima War and Rogue River Wars, Kilchis was pressured by the Klickitat people to join the fight, but the Tillamook obeyed Kilchis's order that they remain peaceful and demonstrate their peaceful intentions to the whites.

Abu al-Qasim ibn Hammud was an eminent person: the contemporary traveller Ibn Jubayr called him \"the hereditary leader of the Muslims of Sicily\", and the chronicler Hugo Falcandus calls him \"the most noble and powerful of the Sicilian Muslims\". The poet Ibn Qalaqis, who was his guest and client while on the island, claimed that Abu al-Qasim descended from Muhammad via his daughter Fatimah and Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Idrisid dynasty of Morocco, and the Hammudid dynasty of al-Andalus. However, the explicit link between Abu al-Qasim's family, the Banu Hajar, and the Hammudids is unknown, and although the claimed ancestors were Shi'a, Abu al-Qasim himself was most likely Sunni, since he named his sons after the first three caliphs, casting doubts on Ibn Qalaqis' claims.

In 1175, he is known to have sent letters to Saladin urging him to conquer Sicily, and a decade later, shortly before he was met by Ibn Jubayr, he was accused of sending similar proposals to the Almohads of Morocco, and was forced to pay fines and surrender much of his property.

It originated from a partnership between the Swiss National Sound Archives and the School of Engineering and Architecture of Fribourg. Introduction. Discs were the only means of preserving sound before the introduction of magnetic tapes. Until the advent of the vinyl in the 1950s, the records were made of shellac or wax. The organic composition of these materials enabled them to degrade over time and also made them prone to attack by fungi. As a result, many records, including unique original radio productions, are in a state of deterioration which precludes play by traditional mechanical means, hence the interest in a non-contact approach. History. The idea of this recovery of the sound of old records through optical scanning started in the summer of 1999 in Lugano, among the technical manager of the Swiss National Sound Archives (\"Fonoteca Nazionale\") Stefano S. Cavaglieri (creator and holder of the intellectual property, initiator of the project), the former director of \"M & C Management and Communications SA\" Pierre Hemmer (co-creator of the project), and the Director of the Swiss National Sound Archives Pio Pellizzari (co-creator of the project). The Fribourg"}, {"text": "school of engineering and architecture (\"Hochschule f\u00fcr Technik und Architektur Freiburg\") was the main partner, at first studying its feasibility and then starting a project that progressed over years. Principle. During normal playback of a phonograph record, sound is obtained by a stylus following the groove. The radial displacement of the groove is observable through a microscope which means that sound information is visible. If a high-resolution analog picture of each side of the record is taken and the information in the film is then digitised using a circular scanner, various algorithms can process the image in order to extract and reconstruct the sound. Method. Photography. A central part of the process is photo shooting. It is performed at the beginning of the process on a properly cleaned record, in order to archive it as a film. The photographic film has a high resolution of 600 lines per mm. This resolution is sufficient to accurately follow the groove displacement. Scanning process. Once the record content is stored on a photographic film, the next step is to recover the original sound. The University of Applied Sciences of Fribourg built a scanner prototype to do this. The current version of the scanner"}, {"text": "is made of a glass rotating plate, on which is placed the film. The digitisation of the image is done by a linear CCD camera of 2048 pixels wide, which takes pictures at regular intervals, with frequencies ranging from 25,000 to 200,000 lines per rotation. The combination of the camera with the rotating film delivers a rotary scan of the record in the form of a rectangular picture of a ring. A second radial movement provides the next ring. Image processing. Once digitized, the images are processed to analyze and determine the positions and displacement of the groove. The first step is to correct the imperfections of the captured images. Many disturbances can come from various stages of the acquisition process: the record itself (cracks, scratches, dust), the photography (film grain), or the scanning (dust, optics, CCD sensors). Then, the groove position is estimated using edge detection algorithms. Once the edges are detected, corrections requiring more complex knowledge about the structure of the image are carried out. Some examples of corrections: Sound extraction. The final step is converting groove displacement into an audible signal. This signal is processed by band-pass filters in order to obtain only the bandwidth of the"}, {"text": "original recording. Some frequency equalizations (for instance RIAA) are implemented. This project aims to retrieve and archive the sound as close as possible to the original one. By default, audio restoration is not applied. Broken records. The ultimate goal of this project is getting sound out of an otherwise forever lost record. Many records from the 1940s are cracked and definitely unplayable. The result is an interesting jigsaw puzzle. As the cracks are due to the shrinkage of the lacquer, there is no material loss in most of the cases. To solve this problem, in November 2006, the Swiss National Sound Archives started a project funded by the Gebert R\u00fcf Foundation. The results so far are encouraging. The algorithm basically uses signal features to determine whether two groove parts are contiguous or not. The project is still in a test validation phase, but some sound is already available. System quality. Reaching the same quality as good as an original record replayed on a modern turntable is probably unrealistic.
